Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) vs Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus: spot the difference
0. phoneArena posted on 16 Feb 2012, 05:55
Announced just a couple of days back, the ever so amusingly named Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) was introduced as the successor to the first Samsung tablet - the Galaxy Tab from 2010. While we're all good with that, we can't help but ask the question: "Wasn't the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus supposed to be the original Tab's successor?"...

I would go for the Plus.
It has better camera and faster cores.
Yes, it is Android 3.2 ... but its faster cores should make for a better experience I would think.

It's slap to the face to people who just bought the Galaxy Tab 7.0 1, kinda like what Motorola did to early DROID Razr buyers by releasing the MAXX.

Why not just discount the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus then? I can't see why they won't be able to sell the Plus for $200 (btw, the Plus now sells for about $320-$350 on Amazon), while it would be a-ok for the Galaxy Tab 2 to be priced so aggressively? After all, they are almost the same devices.

It'll be cheaper and has ICS.
But perhaps they could have upgraded 7plus to ICS instead.

yup, the price point is the difference. the galaxy tab 2 is launching at $450 in sweden. sweden always charges much more than we pay in the states. i expect it to launch here for $300-$350

That makes no business sense! It's wasted production...they could've simply updated the Tab Plus to ICS.

I agree. Samsung shouldn't have spent the money to design and produce the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that's almost identical the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus. How much money will Samsung actually save by going with a slightly slower dual core processor, no LED in the rear camera and a lower resolution front facing camera? I understand that when you're talking about millions of units, every dollar saved in production cost can improve profitability however Samsung had to spend money designing the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and creating a new production line for it. With economies of scale wouldn't it have been cheaper just to increase the production of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and simply update it to ICS?

My guess is the Galaxy Tab 2 will be coming in at a cheaper price, every time I go to an electronic store I hear complaints about how Samsung's Galaxy Tab Plus is more expensive than the other 7" tablets. I think it is the best 7" tablet but for the price difference I would probably go with a bigger tablet myself or a cheaper 7".

Although i really like Samsung but this is seriously confusing me i mean. The galaxy line is really huge and they keep adding unwanted products. why cant they just give the honeycomb product an update or release the same product with honeycomb instead of giving it a new name

So disappointed with my Tab Plus. Every time I use my wife's iPad2 I cringe at the quality of what $350-ish got me. If Samsung doesn't offer ICS for this tablet FAST it will be the last Sammy device I own for the very foreseeable future.
I agree with thelegend6657. QUALITY not quantity. Such a simple idea but I guess so difficult to execute.... sad face...
